birthdays, kittens, sewing, work, and school (what a blog title!)

I was going to write a blog entry yesterday, but blogger was down for maintenance. Let’s see if I can remember everything I was going to say….

Pounce’s birthday was yesterday, and he is now 1 year old! To celebrate his birthday, Ben stopped at the grocery store on his way home to pick up some Fancy Feast chunky chicken in gravy. Pounce and Axel each got their own little dish of it and they absolutely loved it. It was their first time eating wet cat food, and the next time will probably be two months from now when Axel turns one. It will remain a special treat in this household, since it isn’t exactly healthy or all that cheap if you have to feed it for each and every meal.

Pounce is definitely getting over his kitten stage, which is kind of sad in some ways but cool in others. Now when Axel is all silly and kittenish, Pounce will just kind of watch like he is too old to join in. He still has his moments, when him and Axel will tear through the apartment like crazy little kittens, but it isn’t quite as often as it use to be. Still it is nice to be able to cuddle him more and just have him chill and be relaxed. Axel is still definitely a kitten in many ways and we still have to watch him to make sure he doesn’t get into too much trouble. It is fun though and neat to watch all the stages they go through.

I ordered some sewing patterns of hotpatterns.com a little while ago, and received them in the mail yesterday. I am pretty excited about getting to sew them, the patterns they have are a little more trendy than a lot of the bigger pattern companies which is nice. I got four patterns total (sailor pants, cropped pants, tunic top, and hippy dress).

On the topic of sewing, and having time to sew. I quit my job. Shocking I know! Actually I gave my two weeks notice, so I am not quite done with work, but will be soon. I will miss working with all the animals, but I am planning on volunteering and going in occasionally to get my animal fix:) I just felt like I needed some time to get stuff done. I still have some to finish up on my classes in order to get my diploma, I would like some time to do some stuff for myself (like sewing), and I think Pounce and Axel will enjoy having me home.

School in the fall…. I think I am probably going to try it, but still not 100% certain. It does seem like a lot of work and time, but I also think I would like to learn more about animals. So we will see, I guess I probably should decide one way or another pretty soon but life has been so busy lately it seems easier to put it off:)

Well I think that was about everything I was going to write last night (and maybe a little more). Dinner is going to be ready soon, Ben is making homemade pizza. Yummy! Earlier he was tossing the dough and I couldn’t watch, for fear that he would drop it. Of course he didn’t, and I get to enjoy the work he put into it pretty soon. I hope everyone else has a wonderful night & weekend!
